To TIE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Judge Board

We went into this work with a firm determination
to carry it through. He has headed us off, and
made of avail best efforts. So long as he is
in a position to abuse the great trust imposed in
him, so long will this thing continue. There is
little hope for Belfast under his administration.
Ii salvation comes, it will be in spite of him
rather than because of him.
He maintains profound silence as to the source
of the power he exercises. He well knows that he
has not the power. If he had who for one moment
supposes that he would not put the chapter and
section before the public? He can only keep up
the old cry that the power is his without giving its
source. The power is HIS most emphatically, for
he made it.
But, Mr.. Editor, hardly think you take the right

that they had agreed upon a verdict and the court
reassembied The pri oncr brought in, ne

returned Il verdict that the accused was guilty Of
murder in the first degree. The prisoner was tln-

TO THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: In his first
reply to my criticism Prof. Bateman tells lis that
his character has been stabbed by IL vulture who
will not tell his name from no higher lnotive than
failure to appreciate the development of his
mind; and now he intimates that he supposed the
attack came from some sort of creature who
lived in hole. 1t is really too much honor from
one who so seldom notices his critics.
Might not appropriately respond by claiming to
have been bombarted with heavy artillery from
the quill of Il soaring eagle; thumped severely with
bludgeon, and treated to dose of Tuning words
labeled ''smokc" from the same source, The Prof
tells us that he is always prompted to speak kind
ly of the dead. May it not be inferred from the
kinder tone of his last letter that he had begun to
fear that "a Reader had died
hasten to inform him that it is not So lest in
the Kindness of his heart, he should be BETRAYED
into writing beautiful eptaph full Of imagined
virtues.
Prof. Batemin tells your readers that am APP
parentiy ignorant of the fact that Joseph Bona
pare conquered Naples ami Spain, and entered
their capitals at the head of a victorious army His
assumption is correct. l had supposed that the
conquest of Naples was effected by the terror Of
Napoleon's name and that of Spain through an oc-
cupation by French troops long before Joseph Bon
aparte was sent for, and ordered to make the ex-
change of kingdoms.
Perhaps we have a key to this new version in a
sentence contained in the Professors last letter
SIN a literary letter often prefer well rounded
sentence to faultless logic. Let it not be supposed
that this is quoted for adverse criticism. There is
no doubt that it was honestly written 1t is right
to agree with our opponents when we can.
Seriously, let me disclaim any desire to reflect
upon the personal character of Il stranger: but a
mans published words become public property.
My issue was not with Prof Bateman as !; man on.
Prohibitionist: but with his moral estimate of
men, and his methods of advocating and adyan,.
ing Il good cause. 1t seems to me still that the
same glasses through which one could see .Joscpll
Bonaparte as the conqueror of Spain, and virtue
in the dead Nero, might easily find much more
good in the Republican party. Suppose we make
a new application of the Professors principles
am not defending the Republican party. There
not yet been fully enforced; but shall great party
which is admitted to have done much good be ut
terly condemned because it has or two faults?
Cannot one of developed mind appreciate its great
ness, and the genius which it contains?
What party is perfect: Where e:re the men to
form one? May it not be that our party leaders
have broader views of men and nations, and a ,lif.
fercnt standard of morals from the humble citizen,
Suppose we all confess faults, and give M
trying to be goody goody in politics vel! as in
personal character; then what need will there be
of all the bother of Luding up third party This
is not an original argument. Your readers viii
recognize its origin. "Logic is logic that's all /

From a Waldo County Man in Iowa.

REBFIELD, Iowa, Jan. Il. a few words from
Tree state, although now welded 70 the Hawkeye
State, may interest the readers of your valuable
paper. l am aware that those who have not seen
the fertile valley of the Mississippi think it of
the bounds of civilization 1t is, however, long
er the wild prairie but consists of cult, aed farms
where may be seen beautiful fields of timothy and
clover that yield from one to three tons per acre
People used to think tame grass would not grow
here. Eighteen years ago tame grass meadow
was a rarity. Within few years timothy seed has
sold for 81 per bushel; it is now worth 81 per ton.
Iowa is making rapid strides She raises
her own Governors, for which she used to send to
Maine. Iowa may well be proud of her schools and
colleges In travelling one finds school house
every two miles. There are several families from
Waldo county in this vicinity and all are prosper

question is thus plainly stated by the Boston
journal: Our people propose that American
fishermen shall have fair Treatment under the
treaty of 1878. which was a treaty of friend
